Green Trucking operates a “clean fleet” in the Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, and Oakland, California.
We are compliant with all California regulations and meet the highest environmental standards.
Drayage companies play an important role in the logistics and transportation industry, particularly within major port cities, such as Los Angeles. The main purpose of a drayage company is to transport goods over short distances, usually from ports and rail yards to nearby warehouses, distribution centers, or other intermodal facilities.
At Green Trucking, we understand the critical role drayage plays in keeping your supply chain moving smoothly. This is why we provide efficient and reliable drayage services throughout Central and Southern California, ensuring your goods reach their destination promptly and safely.
Why is drayage so important, especially in a state like California? Well, California boasts some of the busiest ports in the United States, handling a massive volume of international trade. Efficient drayage services are essential for ensuring the smooth flow of goods through these ports, preventing bottlenecks, and keeping the supply chain moving.
If you are looking for a reliable and efficient drayage provider in California, then look no further, Green Trucking is here to help.
Green Trucking is your trusted partner for efficient and reliable drayage services throughout Southern and Central California. We specialize in the transportation of containerized cargo between ports, rail yards, warehouses, and distribution centers. Our experienced team and modern fleet ensure that your goods are handled with care and delivered on time, every time.
Why choose Green Trucking for your drayage needs in California? Here are some of the reasons why we stand out from our competitors:
Green Trucking provides comprehensive transportation services from major California ports, including the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and we deliver across Central and Southern California, as well as neighboring states, such as Nevada and Arizona, with frequent deliveries to key destinations like Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Green Trucking goes beyond standard drayage to offer specialized solutions to our clients, with the expertise and special equipment to handle a diverse range of containerized shipments, including those requiring specialized handling.
Whether you need to move extra-heavy containers or transport sensitive liquids, we have the solution. Our specialized tri axles are designed to safely handle overweight loads (up to 45,000 lbs), while our ISO tank drayage services ensure the secure and efficient transport of liquids including milk, oil, and chemicals.
We also specialize in intermodal drayage which involves moving containers seamlessly between different modes of transport, such as ships, trains, and trucks. This ensures efficient and cost-effective transportation, especially over long distances. We coordinate with ports, rail yards, and other intermodal facilities to ensure smooth transitions and timely deliveries.
At Green Trucking, we understand that modern logistics rarely involve a simple point A to point B journey. Moving your containers efficiently often requires a combination of transportation solutions working together seamlessly. This is why we have built strong relationships with reliable partners, allowing us to offer a range of complementary services.
Need transloading services to seamlessly switch between trucks and trains? Require temporary warehousing to manage your inventory? Looking for a complete 3PL (third-party logistics) solution to handle your logistics from start to finish? We can connect you with our trusted providers to ensure a streamlined and efficient process.
California has some of the strictest environmental and safety regulations for trucks in the United States. Drayage trucks operating in the state must comply with a complex web of regulations to ensure clean air and public safety. These regulations cover everything from the trucks themselves to the drivers behind the wheel.
One of the biggest areas of focus is air quality. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has strict emissions standards that all drayage trucks must meet. This often means newer engines, cleaner fuels, and sometimes even retro-fitting older trucks with new technology. These regulations are designed to protect public health and improve air quality, especially in busy port areas.
Safety is another top priority. Drayage trucks must comply with both federal and state safety regulations, covering everything from how often trucks are inspected and maintained to the qualifications and training required for drivers. These rules help to ensure that drayage operations are conducted safely and responsibly on California’s roads.
Green Trucking takes these regulations seriously. We invest in modern, clean trucks, adhere to strict maintenance schedules, and provide our drivers with the training and support they need to operate safely and within the law. We believe that responsible operations are essential for building trust with our clients and contributing to a better California.
Understanding the cost of drayage in California can be tricky, as it’s influenced by a variety of factors. Unlike simple long-haul trucking where rates are typically based on mileage alone, drayage pricing involves a variety of factors, including distance traveled, equipment used, time, fuel costs and port and terminal fees.
At Green Trucking, we want our pricing to be clear and easy to understand. We base our costs primarily on the type of equipment you need. Our prices always include an experienced drayage driver and the use of our equipment—you’re getting a complete drayage solution, not just a truck rental. We usually charge a flat rate for the first couple of days to cover pickup, transport, and delivery. If you need the equipment longer, a daily rate applies.
To get an accurate estimate for your specific needs, please contact our team. We’ll be happy to give you a personalized quote based on your cargo, the distance, the equipment you need, and any special handling requirements.
